Getting To Know You

Tristan and Rory's apartment

Tristan and Roy had lived together for a few days. Just getting to know each other and starting classes. However it was again Friday and time for Rory and Lorelai to have their Friday talk, not that Friday was the only day they talked. But this particular Friday Rory was late calling so Lorelai called Rory.

"Hello?" Tristan said as he answered the phone

"Is this Tristan?" Lorelai asked in response.

"Yes, this must be Lorelai." Trisan answered.

"Oh and you know not to call me Miss Gilmore? Your good." Lorelai told him. To which he smirked.

"Yes, Rory filled me in on the fact to call you Lorelai. But any way I am sorry to tell you Rory isn't back yet. She has some extra reading to do and is at the library she should be back soon though. I can tell her you called." Tristan told her apologetically.

"Where are you running off to so fast. If Rory isn't there then you will just have to entertain me till she gets back." Lorelai said happily.

"Uh, I guess I can talk to you. What do you want to talk about?" Tristan asked.

"What exactly are your intentions towards my daughter?" Lorelai answered with her own question.

"I don't know what you mean." Tristan said, although it was clear he did.

"Don't play dumb. Or try to fool the parents, I not only know the rules I made most of them." Lorelai told him.

"Right, I forgot about that. My intentions are completely honorable." Tristan answered her.

"So it was just my imagination that by what Rory told me that you didn't want to date her." Lorelai said smugly.

"For me to date your daughter she would have to want to date me first." Tristan said but the conversation couldn't go any further because in walked Rory.

"Hey Tristan, I brought some pizza home and I rented some movies, I was thinking we could have a movie night to…" Rory was talking but stopped when she saw that Tristan was on the phone setting her stuff down she asked him, "Who are you talking to?"

"Is that my baby? Put her on the phone now please." Lorelai told him.

"It's your mom, and she wants to talk to you." Tristan said getting up and handing the phone to a confused Rory.

"Hi Mom." Rory said into the phone as Tristan went in to the kitchen to get plates and drinks.

"Hey Honey! I can't believe you one where not home to talk to me and two having a movie night with out me." Lorelai said with a pout.

"Mom I can hear you pouting. Anyway I still have to have some fun now that I am in college." Rory told her. "I can't believe you talked to Tristan. What did you guys talk about?"

"Oh you know the usual, he wants me I told him he is too young for me, and besides I have Luke. " Lorelai told her.

"MOM!" Rory exclaimed. Tristan came back in the room giving her a confused look. "I hope your joking and just for that I am hanging up. Bye! "

"I can't believe you are leaving me for Bible Boy?" Lorelai asked indigently.

"Yes, bye now." Rory told her and hung up.

"What was that all about?" Tristan asked handing Rory pizza. "I didn't know what you would want so I brought you both coffee and soda. Although if I know you at all then it will be coffee. " He added smiling at her.

"Coffee please." Rory said. She then took a sip and looked at him asking, "So what did you and my mom talk about?"

"I just asked you. But if you must know we were talking about you. How you were late to call her things like that." Tristan told her. "She sounded upset about us having a movie night."

"Oh she was, but I told her that I still had to have some fun." Rory told him taking another piece of pizza.

"I know a lot of other ways we could have fun." Tristan said wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"And on that humble note I will start the movies." Rory said getting up and going to the DVD player.

They watched 'She's All That' before they were both falling asleep. When it was over they went to there separate rooms to go to sleep.

A Few Weeks Later

Rory and Tristan had gotten into a routine. They had also become much more comfortable around each other. However on this particular night there was a thunder storm and it was raining really hard. Worse yet Tristan still wasn't home. So Rory was at the apartment by herself. Right then she was looking around the apartment for candles in case the power went out. Just when she had found some Tristan came in the door.

"Hey Rory, what are you doing?" Tristan asked.

"Oh hey, I was looking for candles in case the power went out." Rory said walking to the kitchen where he was. "I was starting to worry about you."

"Awww, Mary you didn't need to worry. This morning I saw that we were almost out of coffee, so I went to pick some up." He told her.

"Thanks Tris. That is sweet." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek. Just as the electricity shoot through both of there bodies the power went out.

"Great." Rory mumbled.

"You okay?" Tristan asked her.

"Yeah, it just makes me miss home." Rory said as she walked around lighting the candles.

"Why?" Tristan asked, taking a match and helping her.

"You will think it is stupid." Rory said blushing.

"No I won't just tell me." He told her.

"Okay, but if you laugh I will hurt you." She said giving him a look that said 'I mean business.' "Well when I was littler I was afraid of thunder and lighting and so my mom and I would always make a fort kid of thing and stay in there and eat junk food. Even when I was older and no longer afraid. " When she was done she looked at him to make sure he wasn't laughing.

"That's cool. Its okay I used to be afraid of storms too." Trstan told her.

"Really? " Rory asked him.

"Yeah, I would always hang out with my older sister, not my mom." Tristan responded.

Then getting an idea went to the hall closet and brought blankets out. When he started moving the furniture rory looked at him quizzically.

"What are you doing?" Rory asked him.

"Well I am making the tent so you go get the food." Tristan told her as if that was obvious.

"Tristan you don't have to do this." Rory said. "Really I haven't been afraid since about 8. It only made me miss home a little."

"Rory come on it will be fun. And I know I don't have to, I want to." Tristan said.

"Okay if you sure." Rory said. He just nodded in response.

One Hour Later

Rory and Tristan where sitting in their "tent". Rory was painting her toenails and they where debating about books.

"Are you kidding me? 'The Scarlet Letter' is a horrible book." Rory said looking up.

"I guess you failed to grasp the hidden meaning." Tristan said, knowing it would get a rise out of her.

"Hawthorne was trying to write the feelings of a women. He did a deplorable job. And as for hidden meaning? This coming form the guy that thought that Dickens wasn't Anti-Semantic. " Rory was practically yelling and waving her nail polish wand at him.

"Clam down Mary. I was just joking. " Tristan said holding up his hands.

"Okay Bible Boy, at least you didn't touch Austen. For that you would have died." Rory said jokingly although they both knew she was serious.

"Can you scoot over? " Tristan asked her. "I want to lay down."

"Sure hang on." Rory said as she lay down too.

They were looking at the ceiling. Not talking just watching the light flicker around them. It was then that Tristan looked at Rory again. Admiring how nice she looked in the candle light.

"Can you tell me more about your sister?" Rory asked turning on her side to look at him.

"Sure. Her name is Hadley and she is 25. We were and still are pretty close. She loves to read, much like you. However she went to Yale. And engaged to a man named Peter Westly. He is actually really nice and I am happy she found someone who cares about her. You would get along. " Tristan told her.

"She sounds nice." Rory told him.

"Well I know you don't have any siblings so I will ask about your mom." Tristan said.

"Besides what you know. She is a lot like me. Except she doesn't like to read as much as I do. Or really study. She used to dance around the house playing loud music. So I just got earplugs." Rory told him. He was laughing.

"But you have talked to her and know a lot about her. " Rory said to him.

"Yeah, I guess your right." Tristan said chuckling. Rory yawned. "Are you tired?"

"Yeah." Rory responded, yawning again.

"Do you want to go to bed?" Tristan asked.

Rory shook her head. She just garbed a pillow off the couch and nestled under a blanket she had been laying on. When Tristan stared getting up she garbed his wrist and looked at him.

"What?" He asked, looking back down at her.

"Why are you leaving. You can stay. There is enough room for you too." Rory told him.

As much as Tristan wanted to sleep next to her he didn't know if it was a good idea. But looking at her again he gave in.

"Okay, I am just going to blow out the candles." Tristan said and did. Right as he was getting back in the tent he stopped and looked at her. "Do you mind if I take off my shirt?" he asked.

"No, its fine." Rory answered. Although she wasn't so sure when he did. He had an amazing body. She swallowed hard and moved over lifting up the blanket for him to crawl in.

"Really Mary, you want to risk not only having me shirtless but also share a blanket?" Tristan asked smirking. She didn't even respond instead she turned the tables on him.

"Oh I will be fine. The real question is will you." She asked before lifting up her butt to remove her pants. When she was done she moved closer to him and whispered seductively in his ear "Try and keep your hands to your self." Before trailing her hand down his body stopping just above his underwear. With that she then scooted away and went to sleep, leaving a very surprised and aroused Tristan to think to him self. 'This is going to be a long night.'

Okay there you go. I finally updated. By the way I know that Tristan's sister name is the same as my Beta's. But she asked me if I could do that for her. Anyway I hoped you liked it and for now I am moving it down to T. However it WILL get to M. And it WILL be a Trory. Just be patient.
